Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

Hi Chris.

If you mean the 1/2 to 3/4-inch, copper, double barrel, wire crimp clips securing the aerial wire around the insulator links, they are apparently still in use in Tackle Shops for securing fishing line. Go figure! Will be looking into their availability locally. On line at the moment shows just 100+ bags of them listed, which is a bit of overkill for this project.

If you mean the heavy, chain link fence type wire, oval split ring clips used to secure the ends of the aerial assembly to the top plates of the masts, I can indeed use a pair of those. That looks like a form of clip which has gone completely obsolete these days.
